This Privacy Policy describes how Exams Pinas (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit examspinas.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
- Information you provide voluntarily: email address (when you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us), comments on articles, and any details you include in messages to our team.
- Information collected automatically: standard log data including IP address, browser type, device type, referring website, pages visited, and timestamps. This is used to monitor site performance and prevent abuse.
- Cookies: small data files stored in your browser to remember preferences, measure site traffic, and serve advertising. You may disable cookies in your browser settings.
How We Use Your Information
- To deliver and improve the Site’s content and features.
- To respond to your inquiries, corrections, or partnership messages.
- To send the Exams Pinas newsletter (only if you subscribe; you can unsubscribe at any time).
- To analyze traffic patterns and improve our content strategy.
- To prevent fraud, abuse, and security threats.
Third-Party Services
Exams Pinas uses several reputable third-party services that may collect data about your visit:
- Google Analytics — for measuring traffic and content performance.
- Google AdSense and other advertising networks — to serve relevant advertisements. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to personalize ads. You can opt out of personalized advertising at adssettings.google.com.
- Cloudflare and content delivery networks — to deliver pages quickly and protect against attacks.
- Embedded content (YouTube, social media) — when articles embed videos or social posts, those services apply their own privacy practices.
Affiliate Links
Some articles contain affiliate links to reviewer books or study resources on platforms like Shopee, Lazada, and Amazon. If you purchase through these links, Exams Pinas may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. We only link to products we believe genuinely help examinees, and affiliate income helps keep the Site free and ad-supported.
Data Retention
We retain email addresses and contact submissions only as long as needed for the purpose collected, or as required by Philippine law. Log data is typically retained for 90 days for security and analytics purposes.

- Be informed about how their personal data is processed.
- Access their personal data held by us.
- Correct inaccurate personal data.
- Object to the processing of their personal data.
- Erase or block their personal data when conditions are met.

To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@examspinas.com.
Children’s Privacy
Exams Pinas does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Our content is targeted to senior high school students, college students, and adult professionals. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use industry-standard security measures (HTTPS, firewalls, regular software updates) to protect data. However, no Internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
